Will we have 60 Senators after the 2018 midterms?
There is a chance perhaps of 6 or 8 more Republicans in two years, but it is likely that they would be “moderates.” The 52 you have now include enough Rinos to stall the agenda.
My prediction: No. Republicans will not hold the Senate after 2018.
We’re a 50/50 nation as just seen by the popular vote for President. And the Senate is nearly 50/50 as well.
2016: 54/46 and for
2017: 52/48. (D side including two independents)
The collective subconscious of the American voter is that too much control by one party leads to extremes, and that gridlock is good.
